The AAEP Horse Owner Education Committee presents

Mythbusters!

In this informative webinar presented by the AAEP Horse Owner Education Committee, Drs. Carrie Hammer and Michael St. Blanc will engage attendees in a wide-ranging, light-hearted look at some common equine veterinary myths and the truths—and misconceptions—behind them. The panelists will poll the audience about each myth, followed by a discussion of the topic.

This is a great opportunity for your clients to separate fact from fiction in the care and wellbeing of their horses.

Please note that this educational session is free, but registration is required. A recording of the session will be available on AAEP Anywhere and YouTube.

Our gastroscope education seminar and scopes was a great success. Thank you to Boehringer Ingelheim for the great educational opportunity for our clients to learn how to treat and prevent ulcers in our equine partners. We are happy to say that the horses who were scoped and need treatment went home with the medication needed and will be rechecked to see how they are healing. Thank you to all our staff and clients for such a great experience.

Is your horse on Prascend? 💊🐴

Here’s what every horse owner should know about storage, administration, and dosing.

⚠️ It’s common for horse owners to remove Prascend tablets from their blister packs and place them in daily pill containers or feed buckets for convenience.

‼️ But here’s the problem: the active ingredient, pergolide mesylate, is highly unstable once exposed to air and light. That’s why the manufacturer uses blister packs that block UV and air exposure to protect each dose.

👉 Once a tablet is removed from the blister, it can begin to degrade within 24 hours, making it potentially less effective at controlling PPID (Cushing’s disease).

How should it be given?
✔️ Prascend should be administered orally (typically once daily).
✔️ Tablets may be given whole (often in a treat) or dissolved in a small amount of water, molasses, or feed slurry.
✔️ If dissolving the tablet, it must be administered immediately using a syringe—do not store dissolved doses.
❌ Tablets should not be crushed.

💡 Best practice? Keep Prascend in its original packaging until right before dosing, and follow the label instructions carefully when dissolving or preparing a dose.
